a bad case of ‘hexagon-itis’

….. there has been a sudden outbreak of ‘hexagon-itis’ in our house. So far, I am the only member of the household affected. The only cure (apparently) is to ‘make stuff’ – I’m gonna make something cute-sy with this little lot and see if I can ease the symptoms …. I’ll keep you posted *cough* …

I have just found this post. I know it was a few years ago but I was wondering if you had finished your project. I have a stack of about 90 “flowers” with more to come. I am still trying to work out what to do with them. Once I have, I then have to somehow back them!

Oh I suffered from that when I started my quilting journey, five years later I had a double bed size quilt for my mum and a small quilt for my God-daughter… I hope I don’t catch it again, it just made me feel guilty for not working on it all the time.

well this has definitely given me some inspiration for the cushions I’m about to make! I made a hexagonal patchwork knitting bag myself a while ago (http://bit.ly/137gHXY) and it took absolutely ages to hand stitch but looked amazing once finished. Definitely worth persevering with!

Bad news – hexagon-itis is chronic condition for which there is no cure. All you can do is treat the symptoms with hexagons and lots of them! I know this because I’ve been ‘suffering’ with the same condition myself!

Oh dear Karen…. chronic, you say? Well, I have taken your advice and I’ve been making a mountain of hexagons today and guess what? … I’m feeling better already! I think this is one affliction I can learn to live with 😉 x
